Forger Mutation Effect Explained

Applying the Pet Shard Forger to any pet grants the following passive ability:

Forger Mutation Ability:

Your pet will visit active crafting stations and reduce the remaining crafting time by 44.74 seconds.

This passive activates automatically and continuously while the pet is active on your farm.

Is the Pet Shard Forger Worth It?

Yes—100 percent. It’s one of the best items in the entire Smithing event.

Here’s why:

  • Massive crafting speed boost

  • Saves time while crafting pets, seeds, gears, cosmetics, and event items

  • The passive runs on autopilot

  • Essential for high-tier grinds, especially long recipes
